explain to us how the dnc is then backing up those efforts.>> that is right on point. the thing that i tell overstep at the dnc all the time is that everything we do, every message that we put out, it needs to have heart deep because at the end of the day, i know a lot of democrats are policy -- with at the end of the day, they are just trying to make ends meet and you have to speak to their hearts and their guts. you have to connect with him on a human level. and so what we are doing at the dnc is making sure that those messages are targeted to speak about how these policies will impact you and your family and your community. what does it mean? what does it mean to fight for peter and democracy? how does that translate? i will give you a perfect example, donald trump just talked about eliminating department of education. and talk about policy implications of that but what does that mean in real life? that means that the department, at the department of education, it focuses on disabilities. all of the protections that many of us have for our kids that have disabilitie

at 1:00 at the rnc and the dnc bombs are right. and then that causes a panic. resources are diverted etc. at 1:00 a gallows that had been set up on the capitol grounds 5 hours earlier and not taken down by the capitol police. i talked to this one guy said, hey, i want put a volleyball net up on the capitol grounds. they took it down and within 10 minutes i was allowed to sit there for 5 hours. and at 1:00, the conspirator there faces revealed put the noose at the on the capitol. perfectly framed dome right one for the j six committee in the media to take a picture of the capitol dome through the gallows. this all happened exactly within 5 minutes, 1:00. now the other person screws up the plans is harris just so she's not part of the plot but she's at dnc when the bomb is found, which means there's a secret service detail at the dnc, which means secret service detail that a sweep, a bomb sniffing dog will before 1:00 and didn't find anything, which means that the fbi story about the bombs being planted the night before by a single suspect that both the rnc and d

yeah. >> hassan was about to try and live stream all day from the dnc, pray to god that the internet is stable wait, i can this is my permanent space. this is fire. i mean, i this is cool and it's much cooler than i anticipated i can say cnn from here. >> underside a restraining order. >> so this is in your writer that would not be in my writer protein. we need more protein in here. it would feature core power, elite 42 grams of protein, 230 calories slick on the face of this hassan is a bro, one of these so-called masculine men, the jackson and charm hold revere aspire to be. do you know about this maga communist? yes. >> jackson hinkle being one of them. he was like a bernie bro, i think back in the day i'm like, i don't know anything about the guy you were bernie guy you're bernie. bernie, bro. yeah. i like burnett. yeah. >> but hassan says his brand of masculinity is very, very different to jackson's hitler at the end of the war, he killed himself. he's a like, how does this happen where you are to the right of adolf hitler what is it about some of these guys that has made them g

broadly though the campaign has kept him out of the spotlight since the dnc.iew with the vice president where he squirmed under questioning about his represent -- misrepresentation of his military service. today campaign ignored our questions, newly unearthed falsehoods misstating when he was in china. he claimed he was there during the tiananmen square massacre when reports from that time indicate he was actually in a proskow. they are hoping to turn the focus to trump, you get it over with and we will see if he can do it. >> thank you jackie. >> let's bring in kelly and carl conte -- kellyanne conway and jessica tarlov. this is the first time these two will be head-to-head facing each other that but they've been talking about each other on the campaign trail for months. >> to moses record is a joke. he's been one of the most far left radicals in the entire united states government. at any level. >> i just have to say it, you know it, you feel it, these guys are creepy and yes weird as hack. >> the closest tamils has come to combat is when he let rioters burn

. >>> plus, ring the alarm after beyonce's dreams were dashed at the dnc. the pop superstar will make her campaign trail debut for real this time. we'll tell you when and where. >>> and at a time of heightened election press, arizona police say they arrested a man with a machine gun, a grenade launcher, and a quarter million rounds of ammunition. what else we know about the suspect next. >>> but we start with the campaign's closing messages coming into sharp focus. arguments they hope will break through in a way that months of rallies and millions of dollars worth of ads haven't. kamala harris, once again joined by star supporters, high-profile help in the final stretch from the boss to barack obama tonight in georgia, to the queen bey herself, beyonce, who will make her first appearance on the campaign trail in deep red texas tomorrow. sources tell nbc that beyonce will perform at harris' houston rally. it's her song "freedom" that's become the anthem of the harris campaign. and we've learned that the theme of freedom is inspiring harris' major speech next

she had this dnc and dnc rollout and now there are a lot of attack ads running and they're based on her own words in, for example, the interview she did with the view and she was asked, how would you separate yourself from biden? and she said she wouldn't change a thing and so those ads are running. there's the transgender ads that are running that trump has pushing out. so like we're in the final weeks and people are going to they're going to get a little dirty from these, these ads on both sides. i wouldn't be surprised at trump's unfaves are dropping, although i've heard that his favorables are actually going up i'm it reflects the closest of the race. i mean, that that's the truth, that they are at parody right now. so it's not surprising to see them, even though i agree with terror when the rollout happened, it was good. but then when her candidacy made contact with the general public and reporters finally, in october, that's when the inversion happened. and what's surprising to me she keeps getting the same questions over and over again, just like she did from anderson last night.

do and i've seen it time and again with my own husband who's did stood on stage alongside me at the dnc and reiterated that this is not a women's issue. >> this is an american issue. this is a family issue. i've seen it as she's highlighted the story of my fellow texan, ryan hamilton, whose wife suffered horrific complications as a result of being denied an abortion. so she is uplifting. the male voice and it's because menor are finding how important this is and that their voice is really key to changing votes in this election. then i think it's going to work i wonder when you hear trump and other republicans dismiss the idea that they would pursue a federal abortion ban. >> that is, restrictions on a federal level. there's been talk of a different number of weeks over the years, but as of this cycle he and other republicans are running on the idea that they will not pursue some kind of federal ban. what goes through your mind when you hear that do you trust what they're saying? >> no, i don't trust anything that donald trump says he's a proven liar time and again, he has bragged about

influencers and content creators had a huge presence at the dnc and rnc. we are on the floor. brian holland is a first time voter at 18 years old, he gave his 108,000 followers on instagram a behind the scenes look at the rnc. melinda hale was invited to the dnc to give her 55,000 and counting followers a firsthand look. >> i think it's very smart to utilize us and utilize our following because we all have very different demographics. we all have different mediums in which we present information. you know, some people like to do a little bit more produced content. i'm very conversational. i want you to feel like you're talking to a best friend. >> back at the register of voters office, bags of ballots from 26 precincts were brought back for counting on wednesday. everyone should vote. >> the election is coming up in san jose. >> lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> abc seven will help you navigate all of the races and the measures on the november 5th ballot. we have a voter guide on our website just go to abc seven news.com. you'll find it under the election section. >> an east

the website tmz incorrectly suggested she would go to the dnc. and there was an instant ferency.rting on how that beyonce rumor basically took center stage until harris took it back. "rolling stone" analyzed that fallout with the great headline, it wouldn't be. the cultural impact of -- campaigning for harris is widely understood as huge by harris allies, by trump, who you saw earlier name check beyonce, and by the political and media and nerdy obsessives who follow this stuff. beyonce has more ig followers than taylor swift herself, over 300 million. beyonce's tours have shown the kind of committed fan base that far exceeds what most politicians can do when they try to get people to come out to rallies. beyonce's latest tour boosted the economy by $4.5 billion. so, now tonight after all the intrigue in this critical home stretch, we can report the harris campaign is announcing beyonce will appear with harris in person at a rally in her hometown of houston. that's this friday, tomorrow, and it's making headlines right now. it will promise the images and the excitement which the h

hope, hope, arkansas that is called vice president harris, a president of joy in his speech at the dnc and then there was oprah and let us choose joe that same crowd by singing joy, i saw an analysis suggesting that psychologists thought it was excellent advice but donald trump has other ideas searching for select voters. >> he keeps getting darker as noted in usa today, while trump has engaged in rough rhetoric since entering politics in 2015 particularly against migrants, he appears to be ratcheting it up in the final weeks of his third general election campaign in trump's comments, political opponents have gone up in competent to mentally impaired migrants are murderers with bad genes. and world war iii is right around the corner just last night, trump visited aurora, colorado, a denver suburb. the gop, by the way, has not won colorado in a presidential election since 2004. and nobody thinks that colorado is in play this year. but trump was there to say that aurora had been invaded and conquered by migrants. the city's conservative republican mayor said those claims were exaggerated

and then after the dnc, as we've all seen right in the polls, the kind of momentum slowed down. coming home to trump. so, they say that they are running very much scared, which i think is an interesting way of phrasing it. they compared what they are doing in this campaign and with this campaign staffing, because i know that the staff has come under quite a lot of criticism, which they do not love, from democrats saying harris has not been out enough, she hasn't been doing enough interviews enough. and they don't love that kind of back—seat driving from people who used to run campaigns. but one of the things they said that compared to 2016, for example, was that robby mook, who was hillary clinton's campaign manager, was talking in terms of a landslide, really — you know, "we're going to win 400 electoral college votes." and they say they have a very different attitude and that they are the kind of, as they described it, the "nervous nellies" of campaigning, and they all run as if there is very much the possibility of losing. and one thing in particular really struck with me fro

both of them at this time supporters of the dnc's helped them get elected. and 68 and 69.they speak isaac sears and john krueger james johnson and they have this this meeting and they kind of you see a series of maybe a little bit like a lobbyist he's trying to get a sense of what new yorkers feeling so they talk to him about the question like we have to something here our parliament is going to do something bad and sears recommends that the attack sort of what they do in congress now they attach the to this bill to pass it through and that will quell new yorkers anger that the losses here this is a misstep like off until this point they've had a really good sense of new yorkers feelings and thoughts about the imperial crisis. they've been able to mobilize support and kind of like direct new yorkers support where they wanted. when they're going to vote on this bill. they locked the doors to the assembly they physically locked the doors. so nobody can get that this like a critical mass that after they've opened it up after they've opened it up, they close it. so macdougal a

i think they might want to consider a free xanax, the host that most dnc and of course, most dnc liberalalways c viewers can always, always count on america's number con one tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist rachel maddow to lie straight to their faces and protect them from and alligs truth. and last night she deliveredhe big time once again, proclaiming a great victory fovr tim walz, only one in the country that thought that. but take a looe countrthoughk. i think the big picture takeaway from this is that s one of these candidates is much slicker than the other, is a much oth more practiced kind of professional debate style speaker and the other candidate, one hillbilly elegy, really. anyway, that's almost as believable as our year and year long, long obsession with the russia hoax. the russia hopes the russia hoax. meanwhile, politico wase also also serving up some truly insane propaganda. walz d they actually claim that wall's wide eyed deer in the headlights look of sheeree terrr and panic was actually a sign of passion and intensity.ak wow.e they had to stretch to makthatoe that one up. an

up in the dnc a she didn', this was the big moment people were waiting for that will finally happen and it still falls flat. james taylor is out there, 76 years old driving his guitar across the country so i think they were right to be a little surprised. >> the second time they live. [laughter] amazing. >> on the voters, potentially not showing up on some are holding their nose maybe some undecided and last-minute digs may be intended to keep those books from the person who would show up, embracing community there which is a big strong movement, people who would normally vote democrat and might have been kamala harris for the can be a big issue right into it. >> coming up on the "big weekend show", fox news alert. threatening to retaliate against israel after americans closest ally watches is because attack in iran history. that's next plus harris and trump, do voters really know where they stand on the issues? >> what policy do you favor most between the conflicts? 's. >> i think when i favor the most -- ♪ yo (man) these men of means with their silver spoons. what will become of them

and, you know, i heard dnc described in a right wing newspaper th >> heard the dadnc subscribe in the newspaper the other day as an orwellian kamala harris show which she was being presented as a big brother figure. certainly, there have been no shortage of people critiquing the trump administration of orwellian . on the flip side, pro truck supporters critiquing the platforming of trump after january 6th as orwellian leasing . both sides of the political sector use the word with more or less accuracy. >> what does the term, orwellian mean quick >> pretty shortly after orwell's death and he died in 1950, the word had the association with the manipulation of language, with censorship and thought fleecing which is another orwellian term which comes from his novel 1984. the transformation of orwell from a living author into an adjective happened fairly rapidly after his death. >> who is erica--eric arthur blair quick >> it is george orwell. it is his pen name. he takes it not to embarrass his parents. he is writing about a local subject and working as a police officer and his disenchantm

i had a dnc when i a miscarriage. so many women never thought that would be something that would be considered as abortion care ever. >> you are seeing first trimester pregnant women unable to get the care they need there is so many unforeseen consequences they did not care about and specify and wrote the bills so broodily that women are collateral damage. >> charlotte you have a piece in time how some democrats really think it could be an abortion election, why is that? >> for exactly the reason you said. when dobbs was overturned in 2022 people knew it would change the landscape but women were not dying yet. we had not heard these stories or actually they were dying but we had not heard their experiences >> who experienced miscarriages, did not think they fell in this category. >> exactly. and i think that since then in the two years since dobbs we have seen a huge expansion of the pool of people who know that abortion effects their lives. people who did not necessarily think that they would need an abortion. sudden

we had heard even before the dnc but particularly that day that there was a spirit and the day where people were retelling cam was stories about how she would chair when she was a child and when she had a -- an issue at home her mom would say, now that you have complained, do something. we had known about the blue dot and were proud to be a part of it with -- brought over by the blue demon -- blue dot. the phrasing was going in the 1990's. it allowed for the allocation system that we love. joe biden won it. i came to a spare garage. you know the rest of the story. i had some spray paint. i sprayed the ugliest little.. and then i found a flower pot. i did the other side and walked in and asked ruth what she thought and her immediate reaction was -- that is cool. she liked to. a side story, to your question about how to get started. it was not a huge idea but good luck. we debated for maybe two minutes if that. does it mean something else. a lot of people have said, why aren't there words? we decided there is something cool and mysterious and we'll see how it goes. best thing ever. lon

and will this dnc ad give people something to consider?er want to make a statement? >> the third party voter in 2016 that voted for jill stein was very much a disaffected bernie sanders voter and was heavily targeted, many suggest. russian money was feeling her campaign on social media. she did not run in 2020. in 2024, a lot of the campaign seems to be aimed at the anti- israel vote. it is certainly a vote that is intended to characterize kamala harris as not progressive enough. certainly, it is a protest vote. but it clearly comes out of harris' hide. and i think that ad is totally correct. it is something that is 100% a drag on harris. >> in this new nbc news poll, vice president harris and trump are both tied at 48%. and then when third-party candidates are included, the trump jd vance ticket gets the edge. 4% of voters go for third-party candidates. jill stein gets 1%. how significant could that 1% be in november? >> of course that is a national poll and it comes down to the swing states. when you are talking about one or 2% of the vo

places and kamala harris campaign she was anointed and replaced joe biden in august officially that the dnc thought was a benefit she could be a clean slate and didn't put up policy positions and people would buy that. she could take on and say she likes the policies trying to say she's changed her opinions through anonymous sourcing when the rubber hits the road and she doesn't have these relationships with the infrastructure she needs people are pointing fingers in the final weeks in pennsylvania. it looks like she will help some problems and this is when candidates need to make final arguments and in terms of contrast, he have the president speaking for an hour and a half class in pennsylvania where last night his opponent was only on stage for six and a half min minutes. >> the last 30 seconds here, fracking is another big one she's flip-flopped on. how much will that hurt or help her? >> i can tell you exactly where they are on every issue but we talk about how the ground game and registration his neck and neck, if all things are equal, voter turnout will rely on enthusiasm and althoug

and i heard the dnc described in a right-wing newspaper the other day as an orwellian kamala harris show where she is being presented as a big brother figure. certainly, there have been no shortage of people critiquing the trump administration as orwellian and on the flipside, pro trump supporters critiquing the deep platforming of trump after january 6th as orwellian thought policing and the shutting down of debate. so both sides of the political spectrum use the word to basically bash their political enemies with more or less accuracy. >> what did the term orwellian mean in the 1950s? >> he died in the 1950s. it has this association with the manipulation of language, with censorship, with thought policing, which is another orwellian term that comes from his novel "1984." the transformation of orwell from a living author into, you know, and adjective happens fairly rapidly after his death. >> who is eric arthur blair? >> eric arthur blair is george orwell. it actually is is pending. he takes it when he publishes his first novel, largely so not to embarrass his parents. he is writing abo

the we vote, we win southern bus tour is being led by dnc chair jamie harrison.hit florida, georgia, north carolina, south carolina, and that reporter talked about this, but i want to outline this point. this is a harris problem, but it's been around for quite some time. when you look in particular at black men, in 2008 only 5% of black men voted for the republican party but by 2020 that number had surged to 19%. that is a 280% increase in that amount of time, 12 years. stuart: you've got to be worried if that trend continues. you can't win if that trend continues. thanks very much, indeed, madison. >>> coming up, trump securing a major endorsement from pennsylvania steel workers. >> the president saved the steel industry with tariffs, you saved it with tariffs. >> thank you. >> you're my hero, and you're the greatest president ever. [applause] stuart: in previous election union members is have gone strongly for the democrat. this time, not so much. >>> karine jean-pierre denying harris has been distancing herself from biden. >> he has so far only campaigned alon

. >>> plus, she urged the crowd to go something at the dnc, so why hasn't michelle obama been on the campaign trail? neither of those are michelle obama, but you know what she looks like. we'll be right back. looks like we'll be right back. al treatment isn't offered? i'll get a second opinion. take charge of your treatment. if you can't lay your hand flat, visit findahandspecialist.com to get started.

>> i go back to the statements michelle obama made at the dnc where she actually previewed this sentiment where she said, look, if you don't get a call, if the campaign doesn't exactly touch you and you don't hear exactly what you want her to say, rest assured she's doing the work and the campaign is doing the work and you have a clear choice between donald trump and kamala harris. one is looking backward, the other is looking forward to improve your lives. she said that. there was a lot of applause. everybody agreed that was the right statement and the right sentiment. when she took donald trump to task on the debate stage, everybody talked about how brilliant she was. so how are we turned around in such a short period of time afterwards that she's not doing the right things? she's been doing this for two or three months now. she didn't have a year. she's doing a lot in a short period of time. if she doesn't do traditional media, those undecided voters, we need podcasts, a lot of digital media. you can go hyper, hyper local and be super targeted in that approach. if you want her to have

but, dnc chair jamie harrison will be here.rump in the room. >> i think you're going to see a stark contrast between representative of a party that wants to take us back. and then you are going to see someone who is good, who is genuine. who is -- that good funny uncle that you like to hang out with. >> jacqui: this is the first major test for walz since the dnc. he has face nod questions about controversial bills he signed as minnesota's governor like granting drivers licenses to illegal immigrants or making minnesota a sanctuary state for children seeking transgender surgeries. the campaign has kept hi circuit for one joint interview with vice president harris where he squirmed under questions about misrepresenting his military record. and today the campaign ducked our questions about newly uneveunoo're unearthed falsehoods how many time he has been to china. >> june 4th, 198 of course when tiananmen square happened. >> jacqui: newspaper reports indicate walls was actually in nebraska and didn't go to china for at least two m

. >>> a cold case murder in illinois is solved and arrests in attacks on a dnc office. those are some of the headlines we're following on the morning newsstand. the arizona republic reports fbi agents found more than 120 weapons at a home of a man suspected of shooting at a democratic national committee field office. jeffrey kelly was arrested tuesday. authorities say federal agents confiscated weapons from his home and car including machine guns. prosecutors say he was preparing to commit a mass shooting. the democratic campaign office was shot at three different times last month and early this month. kelly was charged with several crimes including committing an act of terrorism. >>> the "philadelphia inquirer" says a city synagogue founded in 1740 was the victim of vandalism, arson and attempted break-in all in one day. police released surveillance video of two men who attempted to break into the congregation on tuts. authorities say they also released video of a man they say lit a dumpster on fire. a memorial outside the synagogue was also vandalized. police are tryi

he got a rockstar reception along with former first lady michelle obama at the dnc.ome would say maybe michelle obama got more of a reception than he did that he carries a lot of water for democrats. this is something that would galvanize not only the democratic days could play a role with may be appealing to those undecided voters. he is still a very popular former president so he is playing a big role. another thing we reported earlier today is he has endorsed debbie mucarsel-powell in florida's race. the endorsement is not surprising. obviously barack obama wants to see democrats have control of the senate but it kind of goes along with this strategy of democrats they are turning their national attention towards florida. last week the democratic senatorial campaign committee released an ad by florida and texas to red leaning states. right now i would be sort of skeptical as to whether democrats could flip florida but they seem to think there is some opportunity in the fact you have obama making this public senate endorsement following the announcement he is going

and we have extended this offered to our friends across the aisle at the dnc, please but at the dnc, please come join us in this pursuit of election integrity. and so we want every person to feel when they go vote in america, whether they're voting republican democrat, or third-party candidate, their vote matters and their vote counts and assuming everything is free, fair and transparent. absolutely. if donald trump loses this is a this election. he has said himself, you will be happy to accept those results. >> part of the reason why people are so unsure about what happened in 2020 is because donald trump claimed that it wasn't a free and fair election and there is no evidence to prove that there were what, 60 lawsuits we're lawyers like the ones that you're hiring went through the process which he had every right to do and there was no evidence of widespread fraud. his attorney general, bill barr said that again. so it sounds like you're setting up the same question of free and fair. when that is what we saw. again, do you see a scenario where he will take a different approach? thi

her nominating speech at the dnc, flawless. her debate performance, flawless. the roll out of her campaign with the big a-list celebrities, they have been flawless. tonight, they have created this event by doing it at the ellipse, by having to tens of thousands of people, timing it one week from election night when everything is tied, i just think they have run a good campaign. they understand the attention economy. and she rises to big moments, and this is one she made, and i think it's worth our attention tonight because of that. >> and just one more thing. i think one of the -- one of the tensions here, and we have seen it in every democrat that's run against trump going back to 2016, is the fact that he's abhorrent, he's personally so, so repellent in so many ways, such a person of such low and poor character, that his aspirations are so flatly authoritarian and antidemocratic and he wants to cut taxes for billionaires and is proposing a 20% sales tax on all imported goods. it can be hard to manage between those two messages. one of the things i think we're

you know that from your work inside of the dnc how this plays out. talk to us about the rest of the electorate that is voting now, will be voting on election day, the pollsters don't necessarily capture because they just registered last week? >> yeah, so you have record voter registration happening across the country, happening since the switch, and those folks are not captured by the pollsters. also, i don't know about you, but i as i talk to my friends, i don't know a single person who has ever been talked to by a pollster. there are large swaths of the population not captured in the numbers, president trump's numbers pretty much stay the same, 46, 47, 48. i think he's pretty much maxed out. i think kamala harris has room to grow. there's a portion of the electorate who are undecided. i don't know who these people are or why they are undecided, but she has room to grow in a way that i think he has maxed out on his numbers. it's tight, it's close, and every vote counts. it speaks to the way the harris campaign is executing its plan right now. we hav

melinda heil was invited to the dnc to give her 55,000 and counting followers a firsthand look. >> i think it's very smart to utilize us and utilize our following because we all have very different demographics. we all have different mediums in which we present information. you know, some people like to do a little bit more produced content. i'm very conversational. i want you to feel like you're talking to a best friend. >> back at the registrar of voters office, bags of ballots from 26 precincts were brought back for counting on wednesday. everyone should vote. >> the election is coming up in san jose. >> lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> abc seven will help you navigate all the races and measures on the november 5th ballot. we have a voter guide at abc seven news.com. you'll find it under the election section. >> let's take a look at our halloween weather, starting with the satellite radar composite image showing the frontal system that is passing through right now. actually, it produced rainfall a lot of rainfall earlier in the morning, but it's winding down right now. so we're

and the dnc chair even thinks that florida florida might be in play for harris. do you buy that? do you agree? >> absolutely. i was just in florida. i'm very good friends with two democratic party chair in fraud and nikki fried. i've i've met what are senate candidate down there also, texas is very much in play. texas is tylee get over it? you know, whether the ends up you yes. it's definitely i don't think debbie is more than two down in florida rick scott is not poppy at all. and let me tell you something that's affecting floridians and ways that you can imagine. and that's despite in home insurance rates and that affects latino communities vastly because they want to get in there entering the home, the home market in buying houses, and people can't afford these insurance rates the huge story on 60 minutes. so del, a number of issues we have, but i promise you, they put in foreign thousand dollars in there because i know they're polling and they go, oh, like, we could win this thing and you could if we lose montana, you're going to have to win florida, texas, and nebraska. and

president biden could be here tonight and if the dnc made sure of that.he democrats have been telling us trump's reelection is a threat to democracy. in fact they were so concerned of this threat, they staged a coup, ousted their democratically elected incumbent and installed kamala harris. catholics will be a key demographic in every battleground state. and i'm sorry why is vice president harris not here? >> pretty funny and fairly effective. your thoughts. >> i think the al smith dinner where it's been a long-standing tradition tickets out of touch with kim kalick values. she would have gotten a lot of flak if she would have showed up in white tie at a fancy fund-raiser and that raises hundreds of thousands of dollars albeit for a good cause but it's talking to new york so don't know that would have been a good use of her time with so little time in the election but i do think it's important and it draws on humour and a thinker times person talking to voters in battleground states. >> mark cuban also said this, play this and i'll get your response. >> o

right when he talks about, it is one thing to talk about what the harris campaign needs to do, and the dnc in the next two weeks, and another thing to talk about long-term strategy. some of that is sociological culture and some of it associates them. since 1980, young men have registered and voted at lower rates than young women in every presidential election. the turnout gap has only increased in recent election cycles. in the 2020 election, turnout for young women was 11 percentage points higher than young men. pulling from gallup, last week speaks to the problem. supporters of former president donald trump between the ages of 18 to 39 , who are mostly men, just aren't enthusiastic about voting. only 34% that, they are extremely motivated to vote, compared to 53% of young voters of vice president kamala harris. in the next two and half weeks, there is the reality, yes, donald trump may have the support of some of these young men in polling to me but these are often low propensity voters . what does that mean for the harris campaign or the trump campaign? >> i think all of that is exactly

weird they are not interested in why kamala harris was not at the capitol on january 6 but was up the dnc when a bomb is outside g >> they take them out of the box and assemble them. it is a rigged deal. why are they still being held? no one has ever been treated like this. may be the japanese during world war ii. they were held. >> we have more of an enemy from within and outside. these are bad people. their sick people. >> is cocaine a stronger up. so you are way up more than anything else he can think of? >> what i love, i love cows. if we go with kamala harris you will not have any cows. >> i like conversation. i don't seem to get into much trouble. >> to be clear, when he was talking about who it was that was treated like the japanese, he was referring to the january 6 folks that have been arrested and prosecuted and imprisoned for attempting to sack the capitol. all of that, you get a sense there, that is how the campaign is going. kamala harris is running a very active campaign and taking every opportunity to highlight the contrast. >> now, he is ducking debates and canceling inter

one of the lawsuits they lost was from the dnc and kudos to those lawyers but they lost one from a bunch of republicans who challenged these rules. third losing from the left and the right and the losses will stand up although i'm have no doubt the rnc will appeal. >> marc elias, we should have you do one of these every night. this was very informative. >>> up next, a rapturous reception for kamala harris in wisconsin will trump things out in new york. in new york.

. >> president biden couldn't be here tonight, the dnc made sure of that. the democrats have been telling us trump, trump's re-election is a threat to democracy. in fact, they were so concerned of this threat, they staged a coup. took out the democratically elected incumbent and installed harris. in other words, all her dreams have come true. >> so who isn't running away from biden? nancy pelosi says she hasn't spoken to him since he dropped out, now she is not showing up to the white house. >> she was not seen it he italian american celebration when she's been front and center in the past, was she not invited? >> i don't have anything to share with you on that. >> democrats are as divided and scared and angry and republicans are unified, confident, even joyful. if you're a democrat, you cannot help but feel anxious. let's bring in senator ted cruz. senator cruz, having worked in press and communications, you can tell a lot by what the headlines say, and the headlines out there tug the harris campaign is ferociously leaking, people on the ground are leaking

so i am proud of what we have done at the dnc. we have transferred $25 million thus far to the senate house, the statehouse, the gubernatorial campaigns to support our candidates up and down the ballot. >> that is an important aspect of how you win. it is a bottom up strategy because a lot of folks to focus on the residential level. the reality is that you have got to have background game and i would even say sir and ask you, you did reference those statehouse races, what has been the effort, there, to drive out the vote that could upswing a vote for kamala harris with a voter who would otherwise maybe driven by more local issues or ballot initiative maybe around cannabis or around abortion. and while they are in that voting booth, okay, i vote for the president -- check the box for the presidency. it is part of what we did in 2010. it is not a matter of winning those big races and state wide races but if that local race for county executive mayor, state legislator plays an important role in driving your vote of because it is not

the united states or doesn't have to pay the tariff the arguments joining me now to discuss former dnc vice chair in new york assembly men michael blake and conservative radio host shelly winter. thank you both for being here. the economy is the number one issue. after poll, after poll, it's great to have you here for let's to you michel, what did you make of what you heard from both kamala harris and donald trump on some of the economic questions asked there, you have someone who is actually ready to be president and someone who doesn't know how to count. so you have in vice president harris laying out a very clear proposal that would help businesses help people, help of cost of living particularly you look at going from $5,000, $50,000, that's a game changer for small business versus donald trump, who in his continue record of being bankrupt and not knowing what to do is actually trying to tell americans that tariffs will not lead to higher costs the fundamental concern that people have right now is cost of living. he is saying it out of his mouth. believe him and what he is saying,

tomorrow we will talk to jaime harrison, dnc chair, and sunday elizabeth warren joins the conversation the weekend. thank you for spending this friday with us. do not worry, nicolle will be back with us on monday. "the beat with ari melber" starts right now. >> i want to welcome everybody to "the beat." harris continuing to do what trump won't, capping her intense fox interview with a new exan

. >> if you look at, i believe w was the dnc, the dnc, when she out on stage and everybody's clappingforr her big ovation. >> and she's like, all right, everybody calm down n. like you're acting like a mom. like, that's not what you're supposed to do. >> it wasn't presidential. it showed that she wasn't ready fopresidenr moment. she's not ready to be president. all she had to do was come out n and just, you know, thank you and calm the crowd dow thenr just speak. just start speaking to the crowd. it just shows she's nohowstfied i'm terrified if shee actually gets elected. you should be.. cat, once again, we must aske mt the question, has she been upura to for four years, which is getting worsersn sh? >> i resent the fact that i'm expected to answer sense. that question in a way that makes sense. like i have to make sure all words go together and everything yet. >> and apparently she just sayea whatever and then they'll paste somethinndg else in there.n the. >> yes, that's incredible. i'd argue possibly the job that she wants is more influential, the one that i have. >> yeah, it's rema

the dnc made sure of that.has been referred to as the catholic met gala. 22% of americans identify as catholic. catholics will be a key demographic in every battleground state. i'm sorry, why is vice president harris not here? the democrats have been telling us trump's reelection as a threat to democracy. in fact,, they were so concerned of this threat that they staged a coup. ousted their democratically elected incumbent and installed kamala harris. in other words, all her dreams have come true. >> greg: ouch! hurts more than my hemorrhoids. so, bobby, you were there last night and i wanted to ask you, because we were talking about this earlier, this divisiveness, this thick cloud of divisiveness and yet you see chuck schumer playfully engaging trump and it kind of bothers me because it is like, publicly they say trump is satan and then they are like shaking hands and having comfortable conversation. is schumer aware of the damage that his demonization is having when it is -- especially when it is not true? >>

his parents became leaders of the cause to bring hostages home, even speaking at the dnc this past summer. but dreams of seeing their son again were dashed. weeks later, when the 23 year old was among six hostages found dead. so, one full year after the start of the deadliest war in the history of the israeli-palestinian conflict, the fates of more than 100 israeli hostages remain unknown. and in gaza, more than 40,000 have died and instead of a ceasefire, we've seen an expansion of regional conflict in the past month. joining us live now to talk about how much has changed, how much is not in the past year, newsweek security and defense reporter ellie cooke. ellie, thanks for your time. hi. look, we saw in josh einiger report out there that there's been so much impact that this war has had on civilian life in both israel and gaza. but what is your insight into that? >> sure. so i think it's best to look at maybe three key things when we're talking about the last year. first, we have the war in gaza and the humanitarian toll that the war has taken on the palestinians living there. and then
